    Default Why won't my talent ever be recognized?

    I admit that I don't work hard enough and I haven't toured in years, but I do have something sorta speical. I am not great, but neither are most people on top 40. But I write catchy melodies that work in both Country and Pop and I have a somewhat unique vocal quality and I play piano and some guitar and I can yodel. I kept singing in the coffee shops and I won a few talent shows and I thought one day somehow I 'd be discovered or at least someone would record one of my songs. As I move on towards middle age, that looks less of a reality. So many of much lesser talent has made it in the business, I don't see why I couldn't do it.


    I think it must because of my lack of good looks. But that didn't stop Mama Cass and many much uglier people than I. Why is the Lord testing me so?

    I had a cousin who was a triple threat (acting, dancing, singing), and they played guitar and won pageants. My cousin was never in the right place at the right time in the big city, so they ended up in real estate. Back in the day, my friends thought that I would be a big star (cringe), but life turned into the Marquis De Sade, so you wouldn't want to have my life or live my life. This is no pity post (like the autist accused me of posting); it's a "look over the other side of the fence at my brown grass, so count your blessings" post.

    Enough of that. Now, this is where I get practical. You could do ad jingles or voice work because of your unique sound. I would almost give my left nut for a job like that, almost.

    You and a bazillion other people bud, not everyone who has talent is recognized. I've seen some of the most skilled musicians and artists you could imagine. Do you know what they do? Frame houses, pipefitting or HVAC work, that's just the sad reality of 'making it' most don't and skill is rarely a factor.

    I know but I don't want to sound conceited, but I have something kind of like the "it". Of course musicians are a dime a dozen, but I have an endearing stage presence and I have a lot classic songs that many people ask me why I'm not famous.

    I'm not an amateur, I get paid for what I do and I sang for America's Polo Cup. I have a 3.5 octave vocal range and at the age of 14 I was writing songs years ahead of my maturity level.

    You really should get in touch with some agency that does ads and commercials. You have more baggage than an airport, so you would be cancelled faster than David Duke at the Root if you pursued a traditional singing route. You'll ignore my advice. Am I right?

    I just need a manager and the right marketing. Some of my Country songs would work well for the incel community . I'm sure there's a market for incel Country music.
